4. Hardware Installation
STEP 1: After removing the NPort 5600 from the box, the first
thing you should do is attach the power adaptor.
STEP 2: Connecting the Power.
AC: Connect the NPort 5600’s 100-240 VAC power cord to the AC
connector. The “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the
system is ready, at which time it will change to a green color.
DC: Connect the NPort 5610-16/8-48V’s power cord to the DC
connector, and then follow the steps given below:
Loosen the screws on the V+ and V- terminals of
the NPort 5610-8/16-48V’s terminal block.
Connect the power cord’s 48 VDC or -48 VDC wire
to the terminal block’s V+ terminal, and the power
cord’s DC Power Ground wire to the terminal block’s V- terminal,
and then tighten the terminal block screws. (Note: The NPort
5610-8/16-48V can still operate even if the 48V/-48V and DC
Power Ground are reversed.)
The “Ready” LED will show a solid red color until the system is
ready, at which time it will change to a green color.
Grounding the NPort 5610-8/16-48V:
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of
noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Run the ground connection from the ground
screw to the grounding surface prior to
connecting devices. The Shielded Ground
(sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is
the second contact from the right of the 5-pin power terminal block
connector located on the rear panel of the NPort 5610-8/16-48V.
Connect the SG wire to the Earth ground.
STEP 3: Connect the NPort 5600 to a network. Use a standard
straight-through Ethernet cable to connect to a hub or switch.
When setting up or testing the NPort 5600, you might find it
convenient to connect directly to your computer’s Ethernet port. In
this case, use a cross-over Ethernet cable.
